The Miken Razor Z9 hockey stick is the premier hockey stick from Miken for the 2012 year. Continuing on their succes of the MV5 stick, the Z9 brings a lot of advanced futures to the table as Miken continues to make a name for itself in the stick department.

The Razor Z9 stick features Miken's exclusive Z1000 carbon fiber, which is the the highest grade material utilized in sports equipment that has properties for aerospace applications. The Z1000's strength and modulus exceeds that of any composite stick on the market and eliminates that unneeded resin to reduce weight and create superior balance. Miken's premier Zipfoam blade is foam core injected and wrapped in Z1000 carbon to reduce weight and increase responsiveness. The flex profile for the Z9 is fined tuned using a low kick point and graduated stiffness down to the lower shaft creating greater velocity.

Comments: I bought 2 of these sticks. One broke in the second practice, about 14 days into the warranty, and the other is still rock solid. It's been about a week since miken got my broken stick so hopefully I will get my replacement soon. I wanted a whip flex so I got the 70 flex blade #10 and I will say it is as stiff as my ccm u+ 92 flex. This stick loads differently than any stick I have ever had and when I shoot slapshots with it all my shots seem to come off very low and the impact feels almost bone jarring. Wrist shots come off pretty hot though and I find myself sniping corners better than with my other sticks, so if I could figure out how to load the stick for the slapper I'd be in heaven. Very lightbalanced stick, but I might try something else my next time around.From: Brett

Curve

Each curve brings forth different advantages: Toe curves are less common and are good for stick handling and shooting. Mid curves are the most popular and are recommended for beginners, they are good for puck handling, wrist and snap shots. Mid Heel curves are a combination of a mid and heel curves. Heel curves are good for slap shots, one timers, and back handers.

Grip:

?

Grip

Choose between grip and non-grip coatings on the shaft. Grip texture allows for a more solid hold on the shaft while the non-grip coating allows the hands to change position more quickly.

Flex Profile:

?

Flex Profile

The low-kick flex profile is for the players looking for a quick shot release, ideal for wrist and snap shots. The mid-kick flex profile is for the player who puts a lot of lean into their wrist/slap shots and are looking for a powerful release on their shots. The variable-kick flex profile offers a constant flex profile allowing custom kick points depending on the placement of the player's lower hand.

Material:

?

Materials

Composite sticks are the most popular because they offer the best overall performance. Wood is the traditional material and offers the best puck feel. ABS is used in the blades to add durability for playing on rougher surfaces like concrete and asphalt.
